Major highway maintenance
Road resurfacing
Wiltshire has over 3,000 miles of road. The Council’s ‘Local Highways Investment Fund 2014 – 2020’ is making a massive investment to improve the condition of the roads in Wiltshire over six years. The programme of work started in April 2014, and is designed and supervised by the Council’s consultants Atkins, with the work carried out by our main highway contractors Tarmac and Eurovia.
The work carried out in the first two years of the programme has improved a considerable number of the roads in previously poor condition. The locations of sites treated in recent years are shown below.
Carriageway repairs
As well as resurfacing roads other works are undertaken to make localised repairs to keep the roads safe. The works undertaken in your area since 2014 are shown on the map below.
The wet winter and flooding in previous years has resulted in substantial damage to the road network. It is important that serious defects are treated promptly to keep the roads safe. The Council currently operates four Pothole teams that respond to urgent issues to keep the roads safe.

Calne Area Board Highway Information
Highway conditions and technical surveys in your area
Roads deteriorate in condition because of various factors, including traffic volumes, ground conditions, and weather and drainage issues. Technical surveys of the condition of the highway network are carried out annually and the information is used to help prioritise schemes. Road safety is the priority, and maintaining adequate skid resistance on the busy high speed roads is vital.
The surveys include the use of a vehicle equipped with lasers and cameras to record road surface condition, which allows us to report on road conditions to the Department for Transport and to prioritise maintenance work. Other surveys include measuring skid resistance on the busier roads.
The road conditions in your area are shown below. It should be noted that low numbers are good because it indicates that less road length should be considered for treatment. More detailed information is shown in Appendix A.

Integrated transport, bridge and drainage works
Integrated transport
The Council’s traffic engineering team work with our contractors to plan and deliver a range of projects to the local community, most notably through the Area Boards and Community Area Transport Groups (CATGs). The schemes range in size and complexity from simple sign installation through to more complex road safety and improvement schemes.
Bridges
The Council regularly inspects its bridges and other highway structures. There is a programme of renewal and refurbishment works to keep them in good condition, as well as having to respond to damage caused by collisions.
Drainage
Programmes of drainage investigations, repairs and flood alleviation schemes are undertaken throughout the year, but the flooding in recent years has meant that there has been a need to respond immediately to flooding issues, as well as dealing with previously identified problem sites. The drainage improvement and flood alleviation work is co-ordinated through the Council’s Operational Flood Working Groups that include the Environment Agency, Wessex Water, other organisations and stakeholders.

Calne Area Board Highway Information
Action definitions
1. Not Intervention – the technician has attended site and classified the defect as not meeting intervention levels as per the Highway Inspection Manual 2013 or in the case of streetscene reports, service level agreements.
2. Duplicate – a report has already been received in relation to this issue and a works instruction has previously been passed to the contractor to undertake a repair/carry out the necessary works.
3. Under Investigation – this issue is currently with a Highways technician or engineer – they may be awaiting information from the customer or the issue requires further investigation e.g. wet weather inspection, drainage survey, exploratory excavation, ownership query.
4. Discretionary works – this issue is not a highway safety issue and has been identified as one which falls within the remit of the parish steward scheme.
5. Other – the issue has been identified as one which does not require any action by Local Highways. This could be for a number of reasons – • the report has been cancelled by the user, • there is insufficient information provided to assess the issue and the customer has not provided contact details, • the issue is not the responsibility of Wiltshire Council e.g. un-adopted highway, gas/electricity/telephone/water/cable company, Highways England, housing association, • the technician attended site and nothing was found at the stated location • the issue has been passed to another service within Wiltshire Council e.g. rights of way, bridges.
6. Works Instructed – the technician has assessed the issue as requiring works to be carried out and has either dealt with the issue personally or has referred it to the contractor for repair.
